LUND UNIVERSITY PO Box 117 221 00 Lund +46 46-222 00 00 The final chapter (Romanian language today) presents the LUCIAN VASILE BÂGIU Romanian language in synchrony. It explores essential issues, such as: the double state of Romanian (Romance and Balkan), the individuality of Romanian within Romance context and Balkan language area, and an etymological analysis of Romanian vocabulary. The comments take into account particularly the vocabulary. Not only because it is highly illustrative in itself, but also as it is the easiest to comprehend by first-level foreign students learning the Romanian language. Each chapter comprises a theoretical explanation, amply exemplified with adequate samples and is followed by a practical section – individual tasks, compulsory or optional, with structural and self-evaluating object. Associate Professor Constantin-Ioan Mladin The content of the course is a timely and requisite report for a foreign student who does not speak Romanian and is not aware of the various circumstances and contexts for the expression of Romanian language. It is more than welcome the tackling of a several fundamental matters of Romanian language in an interdisciplinary approach, explaining the function of Romanian culture and civilization in shaping the Romanian language. (…) The author maps out certain tasks for the student aiming at the summing up of the main theoretical knowledge exposed in the course, interpolated with practical tasks where the students are requested to solve translation and composition exercises, making use of customary words.

It is a two hours’ course every two weeks in the first semester, meant for foreign students (mostly Arabs) with no previous knowledge of Romanian language, culture and civilization, with little (if any) former linguistic or foreign language training and with no future professional interest in the subject, as most are concerned with Medical Studies (or, to a lesser extent, Engineering, Law, Accountancy, etc.). The course was written keeping all of these in mind and also with a view to the compulsory subjects of the Preparatory Year: Romanian culture and civilization; Phonetics, vocabulary and grammatical structures; Written and oral communication; Comprehension of written and oral text; Writing and composition. Every of the seven chapters of the course aims at introducing the students to the basics of Romanian language in the larger context of the Romanian culture and civilization development, with the ultimate purpose of settling both a few essential theoretical knowledge and some practical communication skills for the foreign students as inhabitants of Romania. The compulsory tasks at the end of each chapter act as a summing up of the main knowledge of the course and as application for probable written and oral events of daily life. In the end, the course is planned as a helping tool, balanced in between the academic linguistic rigor and the day-to-day necessities of language and culture. 7 8 ORIGINS Romanian language ought to be considered a descendent of Latin language, as the Roman Empire ruled part of the territory of nowadays Romania from 106 to 275 AD, after having defeated and incorporated the core of the ancient Dacian kingdom. However, the Latinity of Romanian language was challenged more than once, for historical, political and linguistic reasons. Mention should be made that a good number of the foreigners encountering the Romanians in the Middle Ages noted the similarity between Latin and Romanian languages which they have reasoned through the plausible Roman descent of Romanians1. The same logic was followed by the neighboring people of Romanians, i.e. the Hungarians and the Poles2. Once the idea was firmly established by various Catholic instances, it was reiterated by the Protestants all the same. Johannes Honterus from Brasov (Transylvania) stated that the origin of the Romanians is to be found in the “Getae who had once ruled Dacia and the Romans commanded by Flacus”; Sebastian Münster: “Some people write that in certain places of Valachia, the Roman language has remained unchanged”3. Foreigners have designated the Romanians with the name Vlahi/ Vlasi/ Valahi (“Wallachians”), a term of Old Germanic origin, later adopted by the Slavs. The word român is first ever recorded in Romanian in the book Palia de la Orăștie (The First Two Books of the Old Testament, 1581). The term român/ rumân had the meaning “Romanian/ serf” and shared a close relationship with the term roman (meaning “Roman”) in several 1 Among them: Pope Innocent III, the Catholic Archbishop John of Sultaneyeh, Poggio Bracciolini, Flavio Biondo, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Andrea Brenta. 2 Such as: the anonymous chronicler of the Hungarian King Bella IV, the chronicler Simon de Keza, humanists at the court of Hungary’s King Mathias Corvinus (Alessandro Cortesi and Antonio Bonfini), as well as Filippo Buonaccorsi Callimaco, adviser to the Polish king. 3 Apud Alexandru Niculescu, Outline history of Romanian language, p. 14. 9 Romanian books from the Middle Ages4. Dimitrie Cantemir stated in his Chronicle of the Roman-Moldo-Wallachians in 1710: “the Romanians in Dacia, who are nowadays Moldavians, Wallachians and Transylvanians, are in their origin genuine Romans from Italy brought to these places by Trajan the Emperor”5. This was partly due to the need of Middle Ages Romanians to distinguish themselves from the neighboring invading people. And this difference was to be marked through an old(er) and most “noble” origin: the Roman Empire, the conqueror which everybody was very much aware of, unlike the defeated (and lesser known) Dacians. Thus the Latin origin of Romanian language became the landmark of any linguistic conceptualization, most famous being the assertion of Alexandru Rosetti when characterizing the genealogy of Romanian language

  • Comments on the Morphology of the Hillfort from Muncel
    COMMENTS ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE HILLFORT FROM MUNCEL Eugen S. Teodor*, Aurora Peţan**, Alexandru Hegyi*** * Romanian National History Museum, Bucharest; [email protected] ** Research Center of Dacica Fundation, Alun; [email protected] *** West University of Timișoara, Timișoara; [email protected] Rezumat. Ne referim la fortificaţia cunoscută în literatură sub numele Muncel, aflată pe mun- tele de la nord de capitala regatului dacic, la o mică distanţă dar 500 de m mai sus, reprezentând cheia defensivei (sau ofensivei) din războaiele daco-romane de la începutul sec. II dHr. Există practic un consens în a atribui lucrările de acolo romanilor, deşi sondajele arheologice minus- cule, de până acum, indică inventar de tip dacic. Ultima luare de poziţie în materie1 reprezintă un moment important, câtă vreme este semnată de autori cu un renume solid în cercetarea aeriană şi arheologia militară romană; mai mult, studiul respectiv beneficiază de modelul teren de tip LiDAR, care reprezintă premiza unei expertize topografice de fineţe. Din nefericire, nu a fost cazul. Am profitat de pre-existenţa unui model-teren realizat în 2016 (din dronă) pentru a verifica analiza cercetătorilor britanici şi am ajuns la concluzii diametral opuse. Între motivele unei asemenea încheieri enumerăm aici absenţa unui şanţ exterior (susţinută de autorii menţi- onaţi, dar şi de Al. Stefan, cu peste un deceniu în urmă), existenţa unui larg şanţ interior (carac- teristică tipic dacică), grosimea neobişnuită a valului (pentru castrele de marş), existenţa unor “anexe” fără analogie funcţională în lumea romană (în special dubla palisadă de la vest), absen- ţa porţilor (care ar trebui să fie vizibile în plan, în ipoteza menţionată), prezenţa gropilor mari de pe conturul interior (care nu sunt moderne), dar şi recentele descoperirile “întâmplătoare” (cu detectorul de metale) din urmă cu un deceniu.

  • Turda on Hitchins, 'A Concise History of Romania'
    H-Romania Turda on Hitchins, 'A Concise History of Romania' Review published on Saturday, August 9, 2014 Keith Hitchins. A Concise History of Romania. Cambridge Concise Histories Series. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014. Illustrations. xvi + 327 pp. $76.50 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-521-87238-6; $25.19 (paper), ISBN 978-0-521-69413-1. Reviewed by Marius Turda (Oxford Brookes)Published on H-Romania (August, 2014) Commissioned by R. Chris Davis Do We Still Care about National History? This is a book that every historian in Romania dreams of writing: absorbing in its narrative and wide ranging in terms of its sources, yet perfectly integrated within Romanian national historiography. That it was Keith Hitchins who wrote the book is no surprise. No one, in Romania or abroad, is as respected an authority on Romanian topics as the professor of history at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Hitchins is possibly Romania’s greatest living historian. As for the book’s substance, Hitchins’s strategy is to expand Romania’s brief history as a modern state (established in 1859; it gained independence in 1878) into two millennia of history, and to project as widely geographically and diachronically as possible the generic term “Romanians.” The result is a book that satisfies both Western curiosity about Romania’s largely unknown history and the Romanian historiography’s own predilection for master narratives, such as the country’s uninterrupted historical continuity and political unity. The fact that Greater Romania was created in 1918 (and included Transylvania, Bukovina, and Bessarabia) following the First World War and the dissolution of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires only accentuates these themes within the book’s teleological interpretation of Romania’s history positioned between West and East.

  • Result of the Historic Evolution and Contemporary Urban Planning Tool
    ROMANIAN REVIEW OF REGIONAL STUDIES, Volume XII, Number 1, 2016 BUILT HERITAGE IN THE LAND OF HAȚEG – RESULT OF THE HISTORIC EVOLUTION AND CONTEMPORARY URBAN PLANNING TOOL GHEORGHE-GAVRILĂ HOGNOGI1, ANA-MARIA POP2 ABSTRACT – The Regional Geography papers, especially those dedicated to the “land”-type studies sequentially mention certain historical aspects, because historical evolution is treated largely as having a supportive role, far from becoming a component of interaction. This research aims to address the historical evolution of the Land of Hațeg in the light of the specific territorial elements and to provide evidence for using the built heritage as a tool for decision-makers. Methodologically, the research has implied the completion of three stages, each with its specific work methods (direct observation, mapping, chorematic analysis). The findings highlight the applicative and utilitarian character of historical studies in the land use planning documents. Keywords: Land of Hațeg, historical monument, land use planning, chorem INTRODUCTION Over the last decades, the emphasis is increasingly being placed on interdisciplinarity, regardless of the type of study addressed. This is also the case of the Regional Geography papers, where the interrelations between various territorial components argue its functionality (Cocean, 2011). In addition, although historical studies have been regulated since the 1990’s as components of the urban planning documents, they are currently not mandatory. For this reason, they are often not included. They were left at the discretion of beneficiaries who considered they did not have much impact due to the fact that many of them contained only a brief history not related to other elements of a planning document.

  • The Roman Hoard from Turda (Potaissa Iii)
    THE ROMAN HOARD FROM TURDA (POTAISSA III) Abstract: A new Roman coin hoard has been discovered during the archaeological surveys undergone in 2015 circa 250 m from the North-West bastion pertaining of the legionary fortress of Potaissa (Roman province of Dacia) (today, Turda, Romania). It comprises of 543 imperial denarii (conventionally named Potaissa III). The earthen pot containing these coins had been hidden inside a Roman building, most likely underneath a wooden floor. The denarii are preserved in good condition, and were carefully selected for hoarding. The 543 coins’ cache starts with two denarii dating back to emperor Nero and ends with two Mariana Andone-Rotaru denarii of emperor Macrinus. The hoard contains issues from Turda History Museum, Romania almost all emperors and members of the imperial families, with [email protected] the exception of Galba. The denarii issued under the Severan dynasty represent 62% of the total, which indicates a quick accumulation during the time of emperor Caracalla.

  • Between Old and New Rome
    Jonas Thungren Lindbärg “A burdensome matter it is today to abandon the delicate and subtle customs of the Latin people, i.e. the Franks, and to return to the Between Old and New Rome dullness of the old Armenians.” Thus wrote the Armenian archbishop Nerses, not without a hint of Armenian and Bulgarian Contacts with the Papacy around 1204 sarcasm, when defending his endeavour to unite the Armenian Church with the Roman in the late twelfth century. What this old dullness was is less clear but it seems that Latin customs had indeed become both Jonas Thungren Lindbärg desirable and powerful, for this ecumenical endeavour met with success and only a handful of years later something similar occured in the Between Old and New Rome Old and New Between Balkans, when a newly founded Bulgarian empire submitted to the Roman Church as well. The rulers of these realms would not only profess their loyalty to the Roman Church but would also carry papal banners into battle and exchange letters with the pope. This study examines how these rulers used their relationships with the Papacy, as well as how the pope used his relationship with them. It is a study of ideas and of symbolic power, of how kingdoms and empires were imagined and expressed. It is a study of the new and the old, of two new power-centres emerging from the old peripheries of the crumbling Byzantine Empire, of leaders weaving together real and imagined histories with new influences in order to establish and profess their legitimate rule.
